Testimonials

"Caring Transitions completely exceeded my expectations when we decided to hire them to assist us in decluttering, downsizing and moving my elderly parents. From the first moment that we met John, we were instantly put at ease by his kind and thoughtful demeanor. It was evident that this Caring Transitions business was much more than just a business for him. Aiding aging folks in a time of uncertainty and change is both a calling and a passion for him.

John explained the entire transition process and their services in great detail. We knew what to expect and when, where and how things were going to happen. He was always readily available by phone or text whenever there were questions. No matter what his schedule looked like, he rearranged and accommodated our very tight time frame.

The support staff at Caring Transitions was outstanding. The men and women who came to pack up my parents treasured possessions really cared about the task at hand. They were compassionate, helpful, efficient and very conscious of donating anything they could before discarding it in the trash. In addition, they paid attention to and cared for my parents as they went through different stages of emotion through the process. They took the time to listen and to notice little things - they even stopped to play with the dog. At the end of the process, we were sorry to see them go because they had begun to feel like family.

I would highly recommend Caring Transitions to anyone who is going through the arduous process of downsizing. They make an often tough time in life much less difficult and less stressful.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you John and staff!!"

"We were faced with the task of moving my sister from her home to an apartment. We knew we needed help. John Hall and his team came and laid out a plan that relieved our fear, stress and anxiety. Caring Transitions lives up to its name. They worked efficiently and with competence in knowing what to do. They were sensitive to her needs and took great care in moving what was important to her. When she walked into her new apartment it reflected her lifestyle from her home. Boxes were unpacked, bed made, and pictures hung. It was beautiful!

Caring Transitions made moving much easier and even added a little fun. We could go on with much more that they did for us. We truly appreciate their knowledge of the emotional aspect of moving. Thank you."

"Soon after moving my mother to an assisted living community, we realized that her home would need to be sold. While she lived at home we joked about mom being a pack rat but when it came time to sell the house it was no laughing matter. My brothers and I were busy and lived some distance from our childhood home. The house was full of things she thought she needed; decades of files, books, pictures, ceramics, artwork and more glasses and plates than I could fathom. We knew the house needed updating and were selling the house "as is".

Not sure where to begin, I called CaringTransitions and felt an immediate sense of relief. The Caring Transitions folks quickly helped us sort items to keep, donate, toss and sell. They de-cluttered the house and staged it for sale. In addition, they held an online auction that more than covered the costs of their services. My mother's home was sold prior to listing for more than our asking price, thanks in large part to the extraordinary work of the Caring Transitions team."

"I am looking around my new apartment and cannot believe how perfect it looks. Your staff helped me so much to have a stress-free move. Talking everything over with you about the plans made the move a very smooth one. Thank you for everything!"

"After raising a family in our home of nearly 20 years, we decided to downsize and move closer to work. I was starting a new job about an hour away (where my husband already worked) and was beginning to feel overwhelmed by all we had to do. Our home was substantial; the new home was much smaller but still able to accommodate our three children when visiting. Looking at the tasks to be done, we quickly realized the project was more than we could handle alone.

We contacted Caring Transitions and their team quickly took control of the situation. What a relief! They helped us sort through our furnishings to identify donations as well as items to be discarded. They helped de-clutter the house and significantly accelerated our ability to have the home ready for listing. We were ready for the spring market and our home sold almost immediately. Subsequently, Caring Transitions carefully packed our belongings, managed the move process, and helped us resettle in our new home. We are so thankful for the support and guidance we received from the Caring Transitions team."

"John, thanks for the help today. Caring Transitions is truly a blessing at a time like this. It is wonderful working with you. You are caring, friendly and knowledgeable in the challenges people like me face. And I appreciate the fine advice you always provide. In short, Caring Transitions…priceless. Extend my sentiments to David as well."

-Tom B.

"I appreciate all the help you've given me and the care of the packing. I wish I could rate your services on the website like Ebay, so I can rate it A+. Thank you again for the all the help and can't wait to see what other items I can win at your auctions!"

-Derrick Y.

"We just downsized our elder parents to a senior living facility with the help of Caring Transitions of Chester County. From my very first conversation with John Hall I knew we were in good hands. In addition to the move he held an online auction for us. John Hall arranged and guided us each step of the way in an exceptional manner. He spent many hours with us before the move and the sale, making sure every detail was covered. We honestly could not have done this without him and his amazing team. He is extremely professional, compassionate, caring and patient.

During a challenging time in our lives he took the stress and emotion off our shoulders and focused on making the move seamless, stress free, while still keeping our parents dignity intact. We are extremely grateful and appreciative for all you did for our family. We can’t thank you enough."

"After 54 years in the same house, I couldn't imagine how I could ever move. My health issues were mounting and the challenge of keeping up with the maintenance of my home was overwhelming. My attic was packed with old boxes and mementos, and my basement, garage and shed were filled with all sorts of items once important to my late husband.

John and his Caring Transitions team handled everything for me effortlessly. I could not believe how efficiently they cleared my house and set-up my new home. When I walked into my new apartment, I was astonished how they transformed my two bedroom unit into a magnificent new home! It was beautifully decorated and neatly organized.

I love my new home and can't believe how easy John and his team made it for me to relocate."

"I wanted to “introduce” you to John Hall, President of Caring Transitions of Chester/Delaware Counties. I worked a lot with John when I was at Solana, as he took extraordinary care in helping our new residents transition from their home to the Community.

John 100% of the time exceeded expectations, no doubt about it. There is no one else I would trust more when it comes to senior relocations…he does it ALL!"

-Aileen F.

"John, thanks so much for taking such good care of my mom & her move. Despite all her protestations of having moved nine times herself, last night she finally admitted what a huge help you were and what a difference your being there had made. I know it made a difference for me as well, since I worried about nothing knowing you were taking care of it all.

I really appreciate how easy it was to work with you, your attention to detail and your genuine concern for my mom. Thank you again."

"Thank you for making our "first" online auction a very exciting and worthwhile event! We love everything we purchased and cannot wait for future auctions. It was my pleasure to meet you both and I cannot wait to see you two again the next time we purchase on your online auction.

Wishing you both a very prosperous and successful 2017!"

"I want to commend and highly recommend Caring Transitions of Chester County for the wonderful service John Hall and the rest of the Caring Transitions team provided my father and I.

It is very difficult when one realizes that living independently, away from family, is no longer possible. This was what my 90 yr. old father discovered after a fall on ice this winter. In stepped John Hall and Caring Transitions who made the transition of my father's life from Pennsylvania to Texas a smooth, organized event. My father was able to feel that he was in control of the change, in a financially prudent way, while being provided with effective support in deciding what to move, what to donate, and what had served its usefulness and could be thrown away.

Caring Transitions coordinated everything from selecting the right type of mover to carefully packing up my Dad's treasured books and artwork. They loaded all the household goods going to Texas and sent it safely on its way, while ensuring that donated items were picked up and what was left was disposed of properly. They insured that my father's Pennsylvania home was ready to be received by the new owners and coordinated with their representative in Texas to setup his new Texas home. Thank you doesn't begin to express our gratitude for making what could have been a very difficult transition into one which went smoothly with little trauma."

"My daughter-in-Law found this wonderful organization and introduced me to John Hall, its driving force.

They specialize in helping the elderly downsize, running an on-line auction of house contents not required in the new location, then masterminding the move into the much smaller location

In our case we were moving from a substantial Toll Carriage House into a two bedroom, one living room apartment in a Retirement Community . The move was scheduled for July 24. My wife was not suffering from the best of health and on July 22 I was admitted to Paoli Hospital. John did not blink and with the help of my daughter-in-law completed the sale and the move. By nightfall the apartment was ready to move into. Pictures were on the walls, bed erected, TV and computer running, the kitchen and all necessary requirements in their place. The move out and in was completed with the minimum of disruption. John’s good humor was in place at all times

I really am not sure what would have happened had we been in the hands of an every day ordinary moving company instead of John’s extraordinary organization. I can recommend “Caring Transitions” without reservation. Their charges were reasonable."

-Michael T.

-Eileen B.

"My wife recently died and I found myself having to move to California to live with my children and grandchildren. Since I was moving into a furnished house I had to rid myself of most of our furnishings. John Halland his team could not have been more helpful and caring in this difficult and emotional transition. His company, Caring Transitions, is well-named!"

-Paul W.

"You weaved a beautiful nest for my beloved mother. I hadn't given much thought to the interior design aspect of all this. Your sensibility is spot-on. The rooms are balanced, beautiful and comfortable. The attention to detail and love that flowed from you and your crew culminated in something truly wonderful for Jeanie."
